Can I burn an MP3 DVD?

[Wobbin]

I have a Samsung DVD-D631P and I'm able to play Mp3 CD-R's on it however I can't seem to burn a Mp3 DVD+RW. I am using the latest Nero to burn the Mp3 DVD and have tried both ISO 9660 and ASCII modes for burning methods. The player read DVD+/-R fine but I have never tried DVD +/- RW. Can it be done? Is it a media problem or a settings problem?

First things first; does your dvd-player support MP3-dvds?

For example, my Philips 625 doesn´t...

My bad..you already told in your first post, that it did play the +r/-r mp3-dvds...

Does the dvd-player support +/-rw´s?

I'll find that out and then respond back.

Here is a guide on how to do it using WAV audio files.

If you have MP3 audio files you would have to first convert them to 16-bit 48k Stereo PCM WAV files.

As long as they are CBR MP3 files you could just load them directly into TMPGEnc and have it do the conversion otherwise you might have to convert each one using another method ... such as BeSweet

Seems like a kewl idea but I haven't tried it myself but I read the guide and it doesn't sound too difficult.

I have burned a movie onto a DVD+RW and it will work on my player. I've done some more testing on and tryied writing it as a UDF disk and it still does not recognize the disk. Thank you for the idea FulciLives but I want to play Mp3's so I can fit about 900-1000 songs on a disk.

You don't have to author the PCM to disk. When you author you can compress the audio to mpeg-1 layer 2 audio (mpg audio), which most players will play these days. You can have bit rates as low or lower than your mp3s. I'm betting a bunch of authoring programs will let you use mp3s as the source audio and do the conversion straight from there.

You will run into other issues at the high number of tracks you want to put on the disk (like how to find them). Isn't there a 99 title limit per disk and a 99 chapter limit per title? This is getting a little beyond me.
